Rough-set based learning: Assessing patterns and predictability of anxiety, depression, and sleep scores associated with the use of cannabinoid-based medicine during COVID-19
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Recently, research is emerging highlighting the potential of cannabinoids' beneficial effects related to anxiety, mood, and sleep disorders as well as pointing to an increased use of cannabinoid-based medicines since COVID-19 was declared a pandemic. The objective of this research is 3 fold: i) to evaluate the relationship of the clinical delivery of cannabinoid-based medicine for anxiety, depression and sleep scores by utilizing machine learning specifically rough set methods; ii) to discover patterns based on patient features such as specific cannabinoid recommendations, diagnosis information, decreasing/increasing levels of clinical assessment tools (CAT) scores over a period of time; and iii) to predict whether new patients could potentially experience either an increase or decrease in CAT scores. The dataset for this study was derived from patient visits to Ekosi Health Centres, Canada over a 2 year period including the COVID timeline. Extensive pre-processing and feature engineering was performed. A class feature indicative of their progress or lack thereof due to the treatment received was introduced. Six Rough/Fuzzy-Rough classifiers as well as Random Forest and RIPPER classifiers were trained on the patient dataset using a 10-fold stratified CV method. The highest overall accuracy, sensitivity and specificity measures of over 99% was obtained using the rule-based rough-set learning model. In this study, we have identified rough-set based machine learning model with high accuracy that could be utilized for future studies regarding cannabinoids and precision medicine.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
